OCC Holiday Card Workshop - Day 4 (No. 3)

As you can see, Day 4 has been my favourite day from the Online Card Class. I do love CAS or One layer cards. They are so simple but they can sometimes take the longest to design!!Julie Ebersole showed us a card where she die-cut a deer with antlers in glitter paper. This was stuck straight to the card front. She then stamped a sentiment underneath it and added a very thin line of glitter paper along the bottom. I loved the look of this card but don't have any Christmas themed die-cuts that would work so:

I've been wanting to use this gorgeous colour of glitter paper for so long. And as I'm a great fan of non-traditional Xmas colours on cards, I thought this was the perfect time.Such a simple card to make. I die-cut the 'merry' with glitter paper and adhered straight to the card front. I also cut a thin strip of the same paper and glued towards the bottom of the card. I heat embossed the rest of the sentiment in silver and added a sparkly clear star to give it more bling. Clean, simple and so easy to re-create in different papers and colours. Thank you so much Julie for the inspiration!!!The sentiment die is from WPlus9 'Hand lettered holiday'. The sentiment stamp is from Simon Says Stamps 'Christmas 3x4'. The glitter paper is from DCWV and the star from Papervine.Will link this card to the challenge at CASology Week #121 where their theme is:

I'm also going to link this to the Addicted to Stamps Challenge # 121 where their theme is my favourite 'Anything Goes'. Can imagine this will be my first of many entries....I have a few more cards I want to try for the Online Card Class and then must make some other types of cards. So funny how I put off making Xmas cards for so long and now that's all I seem to be making. Its rather addictive though, all the glitter and gold etc that goes with these types of cards has totally grabbed my attention!!Take careShona
